Through the Automotive Sector Deal, the Faraday Battery Challenge and the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles for example, we are ensuring the UK remains internationally competitive post Exit, and continues to be a world leader in the development of emerging automotive technologies.</p><p>We remain focused on ensuring our smooth and orderly withdrawal from the EU with a deal. However, as a responsible Government we are engaging extensively with all sectors of the economy to understand their needs and help mitigate the impacts of a no deal exit. In the last year, DExEU ministers attended approximately 200 engagements with business and civil society stakeholders. We have published approximately 750 pieces of no deal communications since August 2018, including 106 technical notices. When necessary we will continue to update our advice on how people should prepare.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 02/07/2019 15:27:32 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>The UK currently ensures appropriate sanitary and phytosanitary checks are in place at the border through the use of the EU’s TRACES import notification system. In the event of a no deal, the UK will lose access to this system. To prepare for this scenario, the Government has developed the UK’s own import notification capability.</p><p>This capability was in place for exit on 12 April and will be in place for exit on 31 October. This will ensure resources are targeted appropriately, so that sanitary and phytosanitary checks can continue to protect the UK from risks to public health while delays at the border are minimised.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 02/07/2019 15:29:02 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>In the event that we leave the EU without a deal, the costs that EU mobile operators would be able to charge UK operators for providing roaming services would no longer be regulated by the EU. This would mean that surcharge-free roaming when UK consumers travel to the EU, and EU consumers travel to the UK, could no longer be guaranteed. However, the four mobile operators - O2, EE, Three and Vodafone - have all stated they have no current plans to change their approach to mobile roaming for their customers roaming in the EU.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 21/05/2019 12:29:17 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>As a responsible government we have been preparing for the UK’s exit from the EU in all scenarios for nearly three years. A no deal exit remains the legal default at the end of the extension period on 31 October unless a deal is agreed.</p><p>DExEU has a vital coordination role to play in these preparations. We maintain a single picture of workstreams, policy proposals and delivery implications across government to inform policy development. This allows us to scrutinise domestic policy solutions and delivery plans that departments develop - ensuring coherence and recommending cross-cutting solutions to drive delivery forward.</p><p>Over 300 work-streams to prepare for ‘no deal’ continue to be advanced across Government, to minimise disruption to industry, to our vital services, and to the daily lives of the people of the United Kingdom. In light of the extension, departments are making sensible decisions about the timing and pace at which some of this work is progressing and what further action can be taken, but we will continue to prepare for all EU Exit scenarios.</p><p>We continue to make good progress - for example:</p><ul><li><p>Since December 2018, HMRC has issued 74,000 new EORI numbers to traders (as of 23 June).</p></li><li><p>We have published approximately 750 pieces of communications on no deal since August 2018, including 106 technical notices explaining to businesses and citizens what they need to do to prepare.</p></li><li><p>The EU Settlement Scheme is now fully opened with over 800,000 applications so far.</p></li></ul><p> </p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 02/07/2019 15:37:45 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
